iMagine Design Center

iMagine Design Center

iMagine Design Center is a product visualization tools that creates realistic rendering of Hunter Douglas products. It serves over 40 different window coverings and more than 4,500 material, fabrics, and colors in detail or room setting mode. Each product and swatch uniquely transforms lighting in a room. iMagine also reflects that true lighting nature in its rendering.

I worked with iMagine from 2008 to 2014. When it first launched, there were 2 views: detail view and sample rooms view, which were rendered by Scene7 developed in ActionScript 1. Since then, it has gone through many iterations.

The first round involved simplifying the interface and updating the code behind from ActionScript 2 to ActionScript 3. The second round was a major milestone as Upload Your Own Photos was introduced. Many new user interfaces were developed to support this feature including a custom rendering engine. The third round, dependency on Scene7 was removed. The sample rooms were integrated into Upload Your Own Photos while detail view remained intact but was served by a brand new in-house rendering engine, which renders more quickly and is easier to maintain.

Key Features

iMagine allows a customer to upload a room photo, create an outline around the window, mask an object that may obstruct it and see Hunter Douglas products in that environment.
